One was thyroid related and one I don’t know if they know. The first was put on thyroid medicine and the second was given medicine that helped the body release the water.<br /> Hopefully some of our doctors here will weigh in, or you could dm one. Calling an info line or calling back the office also recommended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183985 Fri, 02 Apr 2021 15:57:24 +0000 smittie 2183985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183911 Fri, 02 Apr 2021 05:16:08 +0000 Gigi 2183911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you're dealing with this. If you're not sure whether you need urgent care, you could call your insurance company's nurse line if you have one. They could help you make the decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183871 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 22:56:07 +0000 Glory 2183871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so sorry to read what you are going through.

My BFF is a doctor and says there has been no reported correlation at all between vaccine and weight gain. The rapidity of this would definitely be an incentive to go to the doctor sooner rather than later. I hope everything is ok — please let us know when you get some answers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183754 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 13:14:04 +0000 RobinF 2183754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it sounds like something is going on but doubt it is related to the vaccine. Better get it checked out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183753 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 13:06:43 +0000 cindysmith 2183753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that western society's media values size 000 bodies so much that we would have heard about weight gain being a side effect. I hope your doc gets it figured out quickly and gets whatever it is remedied </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183724 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 02:29:07 +0000 Echo 2183724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a really significant gain, and I don't know that I'd be comfortable waiting a week, either. Whether it is actual weight or water retention, that's a pretty drastic change for such a short period of time, and points to something being really wrong. I hope you and your dr. figure it out soon!</p> <p>As for the shots, I believe the two - weight gain and vaccinations - are unrelated. In a weight-obsessed country, you can bet it would have been all over the news if weight gain, especially a significant one, were in any way associated with the shots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183709 Thu, 01 Apr 2021 00:14:19 +0000 rachylou 2183709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toban is right... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183692 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:55:32 +0000 Toban 2183692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn’t wait a week til your Doctor’s visit. This needs testing and medical advice now. Nurse line? Urgent care? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183690 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:43:27 +0000 Anonymous 2183690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*checks scale* Nope it's still heading down.<br /> Agreeing with Ophelia that it's likely water, but scary that it's so much so quick. Glad you're seeing your doctor!<br /> If your insurance company has a nurse line and it continues, I'd give them a call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183686 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:21:56 +0000 rachylou 2183686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. That’s very quick. Something hormonal does come to my mind first, not necessarily thyroid. I’d take it easy until you see your doctor and get tests. That’s my uncle-the-cardiologist’s best remedy for everything... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183685 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:21:10 +0000 ophelia 2183685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t heard of this; I wonder if it’s water retention—check your lower legs &amp; ankles to see if they feel or appear swollen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183680 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:13:58 +0000 Angie 2183680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry.

Not that I think you should worry, but if you are already, maybe there is a way to get some reassurance while you wait for your check-up Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will be able to help you out here!</p> <p>Sending positive and healing thoughts!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vaccine-weight-gain#post-2183650 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 19:26:43 +0000 doggeh lover 2183650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone else had a big weight gain after getting the covid vaccine? I dunno if coincidental or not, but I've gained 22 lbs since shortly after my shots, 1st in mid-Feb . I got the Moderna one, along with my husband and sister, no issues with them. My diet, activity level hadn't changed, yet this came on suddenly, only change I've had and now I'm heavier than I've been for 15 years! I DO have a history of my thyroid going whacko, but not for many years. Seeing my Dr 4/8, will get test done. Meanwhile I have nothing but newly bought sweatpants to fit my bulging tummy Wanted to do a big closet purge but that will need to wait till I find out what is happening, it's literally a gain every 2-3 days :(</p>
